That predates the internet by a fair margin.

Because it needs an extra dongle that isn’t free and most headphones use an ordinary audio jack.
Charging while listening.
And above all, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

I think the A is for asexual… like why tf would someone not interested in sexuality care. At a certain point it’s just someone wanting attention and I think we passed it a few characters ago. Before you, gentle reader, get upset see it for yourself… these come from Google search, obvious joke ones were ignored:
LGBT
LGBTQ
LGBTQ+ <- this is literally all inclusive, no need to go further
LGBTQ2 (“two spirit”… aka furries)
LGBTQIA+ (longest “official” acronym)
LGBTQIA2S+
LGBTQIAAP+
LGBTQIAGNC
LGBTQQIP2SAA
LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+If that doesn’t make it obvious I’ll leave you with a quote from Peter Tatchell:
It’s great to be inclusive, but the new alphabet soup is a confusing and alienating mess — made even worse when people get into spats over missing initials or the inclusion of initials they disagree with. The longest I’ve ever seen is LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA. This is absurd. It makes us a laughing stock and devalues serious issues around sexuality and gender.

That plushie is going to be out in the trash next week with a small hole cut in the bottom, all crusty and strangely heavy, with one eye hanging down looking like it wants to say “I have seen some shit…”

It’ll probably be a giant “Fuck /u/spez”

It has the same signature.
- db2@lemmy.onetoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside?0·2 years ago
The objective is to open a garage door, not hotwire a car from 1973.
What do you mean by ‘data privacy friendly’? It’s a file manager.

However, I didn’t know what I was doing, and broke my computer just as the professor foretold.
A rite of passage.
Don’t forget the ecosexuals.
I’m not making that up, it’s apparently a thing.
Imagine naming your social media package after a kind of herpes. 💀
- db2@lemmy.onetoLinux@lemmy.ml•Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?English0·2 years ago
I don’t like flatpak or snap or any of them. System libraries exist for good reason, just because your computer is stupid fast and you have enough disk for the library of Congress a couple times over doesn’t mean you should run a veritable copy of your whole operating system for each program. IMO it’s lazy.
Sandboxing is a different thing though, if that’s the purpose then it’s doing it right.

They’re getting no end of grief from bad/paid actors though.
No garage door uses a keyed switch like that, thanks for playing.
